that is not how is viewed and you know it........when was the last time a black person or a minority in this country was charge with a hate crime on a white person or any other group for verbally assaulting them in an argument?
if this man was Mexican and he was verbally assaulting the Puerto Rican (some Mexicans and Puerto Ricans don't get along) would the Mexican be charge with a hate crime?
I think the prosecution is pushing this because it's what they can do. The officer who walked away when he could have interceded is casting a shadow over the police department, but as he's resigned, there's little they can do to him. So to salvage public opinion, they are going gangbusters after the bigot.
"Timothy Trybus was initially charged with misdemeanor disorderly conduct and misdemeanor assault before his charges were upgraded."
so here we have a 'hate crime' supposedly based on disorderly conduct and [verbal] 'assault' based on not liking a woman's shirt?
one in which the 'victim' was neither verbally abused, cursed, or called a racially or ethnically-oriented epithet?

Bingo. I don't think "hate crime" charges will stick on this one. Prosecutors have a curious habit of overcharging sometimes - and sometimes it's detrimental to their case.
Wow, that's great news.
Thought the prick would get off with a slap on the wrist, or a disorderly conduct charge.
As to how it was a hate crime; It's the perfect example of a hate crime.
Dude committed a crime, and it was due to his hate of an individual, over their country of birth.
It just so happens that the moron didn't realize he was hating America.

is that about it?
it's a load of crap.
I seen more verbal assaults wearing a Cowboys Jersey in an Eagles game in Philly....lol
this is a political correct case and they are going overboard with the hate crime charge.

you know the answer to that.
I don't know the answer as you see it.
That's the point. I don't know anybody in real life that supports verbal or physical assault to police officers or anybody.
That's your perception that ALL liberals or all Trump haters must not think like you.
1. He assaulted no one. At one point a man touched his arm.
2. "Disorderly conduct" isn't a crime as a crime requires a victim.
Two felony charges and the man never broke the non-aggression principle.
Authoritarians rejoice!
He did indeed verbally assault her for quite some time.
